      United bosses are desperate to avoid having a circus drag out into the second half of the season which could overshadow a potential challenge for trophies by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
      They have been in regular conversation with agent Mino Raiola in an attempt to thrash out terms on a new contract which could top £400,000 a week.
      And over the past couple of months it is understood United have grown increasingly confident they will be able to tie the 28-year-old midfielder down for the majority of the rest of his career in peak fitness.
      They are aware there is interest from other big clubs on the continent to land the French World Cup winner – particularly from Paris Saint-Germain.
      Real Madrid have also been keen but there are doubts whether the Spanish giants will have the financial ability to sign both Pogba and their main priority Kylian Mbappe.
      Since returning after the summer break Pogba has been in fine form for United.
      It’s also believed he has welcomed their capture of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo.

      Central to his thoughts is playing in a team he feels can genuinely compete for major honours.
      And United’s recent signings have gone a long way to showing Pogba they mean business.
      The World Cup winner he was only a sub in Saturday’s 1-1 home Prem draw with Everton, coming on after 70 minutes as below-par United chased a winner.
      Antony Martial put United in front on 43 minutes with his first goal since February.
      But Andros Townsend deservedly drilled a point-saver for the Toffees midway through the second period.

      According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Cavani is open to quitting Old Trafford in January.
      The forward is yet to complete a full 90 minutes in the Premier League this season and was hauled off after 57 minutes against Everton on Saturday.
      Cavani signed a new one-year deal with Man Utd during the summer and was expected to be the team’s main striker – and wear the No7 shirt.
      But the shock return of Ronaldo has seen him slip down the pecking order and he’s now likely to play just a supporting role – wearing the No21 shirt.
      And Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Cavani on loan in January, giving him the chance to leave Ronaldo’s shadow.
      The LaLiga side are thought to want more firepower up front after failing to sign Paris Saint-Germain ace Kylian Mbappe, 22, during the summer.

      A six-month loan deal for Cavani would allow the striker to see out the rest of his Man Utd contract in Spain.
      And the forward is reportedly interested in playing in LaLiga before retiring after enjoying spells in Italy, France and England.
      Real are unlikely to offer Cavani more than a six-month deal as they are expected to regenerate their interest in Mbappe.
      The Frenchman is also out of contract in June and Real reportedly want to sign him on a pre-contract agreement.
      Cavani boasts a decent record at Man Utd, scoring 10 goals in 29 games since leaving PSG in August 2020.
      The 123-cap international is one of the most prolific goalscorers of his generation, scoring 370 goals in 629 club appearances.

      Mino Raiola ‘wants to seal Paul Pogba transfer from Man Utd to Real Madrid in the summer’ as Plan B to Barcelona move

      by

      It had been claimed last month that the World Cup winner is ‘more likely’ to pen a new deal following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.
      But according to Spanish news outlet El Nacional, his agent Raiola is trying to convince Los Blancos to snap him up in 2022.
      They state that the ex-Juventus ace, who can speak to foreign clubs about a summer move in the New Year, is keen to play in LaLiga in the future.
      Barcelona have been linked with securing Pogba’a services, but he would have to take a huge pay cut in order to join the Blaugrana.
      And El Nacional have reported that Raiola has been in contact with the Catalan club’s president Joan Laporta.
      But Barca cannot afford to bring him to the Nou Camp, leaving Raiola to allegedly try and persuade Real to sign the four-time Serie A champion.

      Paris Saint-Germain are understood to remain keen on Pogba after failing to bring him to Parc des Princes in the recent transfer window.
      But Real are believed to be the frontrunners should the player decide to seek a new challenge away from the Premier League.
      Carlo Ancelotti’s side are in need of new midfielders with Luka Modric in the last year of his deal at the Bernabeu.
      Meanwhile Toni Kroos is tied down until 2023, and Real could decide to cash in on him.
      Should Pogba link up with Real, he could partner French compatriot Eduardo Camavinga, who linked up with the Madrid outfit in August.
      Raphael Varane has urged Pogba to remain with the Red Devils, as he said: “It is of course his decision, but of course I hope he stays here for a long time.
      “He is a fantastic player, so undoubtedly I hope he stays.
      “He did not have to convince me that I should move here, but I talked to him about the club to find out what it is like to be here day-to-day.
      “It was important for me to hear his opinions and thoughts about the club, the team and their ambitions.”

      Kessie reportedly wants an €8million yearly salary – around £132,000-a-week – but Milan are only offering €6.5m.
      The Ivory Coast international’s alleged wage demands are well within Man Utd’s budget, with the club currently paying Pogba £290,000-a-week.
      The Frenchman is one of 11 players earning at least £132,000-a-week at Old Trafford.

      And some rumours suggest Spurs are willing to pay Kessie his desired wage.
      Pogba’s Man Utd future remains uncertain, with reports claiming Juventus and Barcelona are interested in signing the player.
      The Red Devils are also believed to have identified Tottenham ace Tanguy Ndombele, 24, as a potential replacement for Pogba.
      But Raphael Varane has publicly urged his club and international team-mate to stay in Manchester beyond next summer.
      The French defender told Norwegian TV: “It is of course his decision, but of course I hope he stays here for a long time.”

      It has been claimed that the Whites have slapped a £60million price tag on the midfielder.
      But the Yorkshire outfit remain keen to keep hold of their academy graduate and are said to have opened contract talks with the player.
      And Leeds boss Bielsa has now commented on Phillips’ future as he accepted that an exit away from Elland Road could happen.
      However the Argentine gaffer, 66, has played down the chances of him departing to fierce rivals United.
      Speaking of Phillips, he said: “I’m sure the day he leaves Leeds and the way that he does it, far from provoking disappointment – of course it will generate disappointment – but it’s going to solidify his link to the club, the people and the city.
      “I’m sure he would only leave if it’s guaranteed that the link to the place where he was born remains intact. He will know how to do it.”

      Asked whether he is confident he would remain at Leeds, he added: “That’s a question Kalvin needs to answer.
      “Of course for us he’s a very valuable player. We have to adapt ourselves to how he feels belonging to Leeds.
      “I have seen in him a conduct that I have very rarely seen in a player in how football is right now.
      “For a player to climb to the level he is at, due to the love of the club he’s at, is not frequent.
      “I have a certainty that Kalvin is going to enjoy for the rest of his life, the decisions he’s going to make.

      “He will be loved definitively for always in the place where he was born and where he belongs.
      “When you go for the money or for the evolution, you resolve a moment in your sporting career.
      “But when you opt for the affection of your people, you resolve your life forever because when you’re loved when you’re from, the possibilities to be happy increase.”

      Man Utd join Everton in hunt for Aberdeen starlet Calvin Ramsay, 18, as Old Trafford scouts compile transfer dossier

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have joined the growing number of clubs tracking Calvin Ramsay.SunSport understands the Red Devils have had the 18-year-old Aberdeen kid watched regularly this season and their recruitment department is compiling a dossier.
      Aberdeen star Calvin Ramsay is wanted by Manchester UnitedCredit: Willie Vass
      SunSport revealed last month Everton had turned their attention to Ramsay after failing in several bids to lure Scotland starlet Nathan Patterson from Rangers.
      Dons boss Stephen Glass is convinced academy graduate Ramsay is destined to make it big and he has become one of his first picks.
      The right-back has been a standout for the Dons this term, even during a tough run of eight games without a win.
      Ramsay further enhanced his credentials with a decent debut for Scotland Under-21s in last month’s Euro qualifying draw in Turkey.
      It’s been a rapid rise for the defender six months after being handed his debut by then caretaker manager Paul Sheerin as a late sub against Dundee United at Tannadice.
      The following week he started at Dumbarton in a Scottish Cup tie and caught the eye in front of the live TV cameras.

      Since then Ramsay, who signed a new deal until June 2024 at the start of the year, has made another 18 appearances.
      Dons chiefs may yet move to further improve the youngster’s contract terms as interest in him reaches fever pitch.
      Aberdeen are back in action this weekend as they try end their winless run in their clash with Celtic.
      It could see Scott Brown line up against his old side for the very first time after 14 years at the club.
      But speaking earlier this week, Craig Levein reckons the skipper hasn’t been as effective as he wants to be at Pittodrie.
      He said: “I think it’s really difficult for him but he might get away with it because of his personality and the charisma that he has as well.
      “Scott was fantastic at Celtic but he had the spell under Ronny Deila where he kind of fell away a little bit.
      “Brendan Rodgers got him back to that top level again.

      “But trust me, playing centre midfield for Celtic is a different thing altogether to playing centre midfield for Aberdeen.
      “Scott would patrol that midfield area, drop down to take the ball off the centre backs and he would have five choices of passes.
      “He didn’t have to do the amount of running he’s having to do at Aberdeen – he basically planted himself in front of those centre backs and tidied things up.”
